ABSTRACT

The place assimilation of Korean is not a obligatory but optional phenomenon. However, the optionality of phonological phenomena occur frequently in Korean fast speech rate. The purpose of this paper was to investigate aspects of the Korean place assimilation for children with articulation and phonological problems. The Korean place assimilation was perceptually evaluated by a speech-language pathologist using questionnaire survey. The results of this study were as follows: First, coronal sound /n/ is disposed to undergo assimilation, but labial sound /m/ is not. Second, According to the place of articulation of a trigger, plain stop was preferred to aspirated stop and tensed stop. Also, the Velarization of coronal in the place of articulation of a trigger was only significant in this study. Finally The between high frequency words and low frequency words was statistically significant in this study.
